Jiangnan, Baihualou

The solid wood stairs are full of traces of sword cuts, the original delicate flowers were broken from the roots, there were traces of trampling around the flower pots, and the flowers, leaves and petals were scattered all over the ground.The window hung obliquely on the window frame, the chairs in the room had broken legs, the round table was broken into several pieces, and fell to the ground in a mess.

"You guys...have been ransacked?" Luo Qingning picked up a piece of sawdust from the ground with a look of surprise.

"Almost, more precisely, being chased and killed." Lu Xiaofeng said helplessly as he kicked away the chair blocking the way at his feet.

Hua Manlou straightened the broken flower pot with distress, and reached out to help the fallen flower branch.

Luo Qingning looked around and asked, "Where's the captain?"

Last night, after the wedding banquet, Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng stayed at Hua's house, while Lu Xiaofeng rushed back to Baihualou to take care of the pirate captain they brought.

"I'm here." A tattered bearded beggar limped up the stairs and smiled at Luo Qingning.

Lu Xiaofeng pulled the beard on his face, said: "Those people should have come for him last night, so I asked Sikong Zaixing to disguise him."

Luo Qingning walked around the captain and said, "Looking for him?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "Yes, and there was more than one call. You guys had fun last night, but it was hard for me. Those people didn't stop all night long!"

Hua Manlou frowned and looked at the captain: "Who did you offend?"

The captain shrugged and said with a smile: "Maybe I was robbed by me at sea before, you know, I am very famous at sea."

Luo Qingning hit the captain on the head with a chestnut, and said contemptuously: "Don't be so stinky, wash your face and go out for a walk to see who knows you! Tell me honestly, what's going on here?"

"Gollum—"

A sound came from the captain's stomach, and he touched his belly in embarrassment: "I haven't eaten yet, why don't we chat while eating?"

Luo Qingning said with disgust: "Whoever wants to chat with you while eating, don't change the subject!"

Hua Manlou chuckled, "There's a noodle restaurant at the door, go there and eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles by yourself."

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "It happens that you have two pennies, which is enough for a bowl of noodles."

The captain covered his chest in surprise: "How do you know I have two cents?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "When I came here just now, I saw a passerby throwing money into your bowl."

"The eyes are so good!" The captain curled his lips helplessly, wrapped his clothes more tightly, walked down the small building in a few steps, and walked towards the noodle shop beside him.

Hua Manlou watched the captain walk away, and said softly, "Did he follow us just to seek refuge?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "This man is very cunning, it seems that if you want to find out what's going on with him, you can only start with those who hunted him down."

Hua Manlou: "What did you discover?"

Lu Xiaofeng rubbed his chin: "Last night, those people were rummaging around, as if they were looking for something."

Hua ManLou: "Looking for something?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "In my opinion, they will come again tonight."

Luo Qingning smiled and said, "Stay on the sidelines?"

Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou nodded at the same time: "Not bad."

It was late at night, Luo Qingning and Huamanlou hid in the room opposite Baihualou, quietly observing the movement of Baihualou, through the broken doors and windows, Luo Qingning could clearly see that Lu Xiaofeng and the captain were lying On the bed, I fell asleep peacefully.

Occasionally, a few wild cats will pass by the street. Their footsteps are light, and their screams are like children crying, which makes the darkness of the night especially seep into people.

A few black figures suddenly flashed by the side of the street. They were vigorous, and they jumped up the small building in a few steps and went straight to the captain.

Lu Xiaofeng turned over, pulled the quilt casually, a wisp of white mist rose slowly in the darkness, and by the dim moonlight, Luo Qingning could see what those people were looking for, some of them were flipping around in the room , Some reached out and groped the captain.

Suddenly, Lu Xiaofeng opened his eyes, jumped up from the bed, and attacked the nearest man in black. Seeing this, the rest of the men in black drew out their weapons and attacked Lu Xiaofeng. They moved in the dark with strange movements. Extremely fast.

Seeing that their martial arts skills are not low, Huamanlou immediately flew towards Baihualou to join the battle. The white smoke in the room was increasing, almost blocking the line of sight. Luo Qingning lay on the window sill and watched the movement on the other side nervously.

A black shadow flashed out of the white mist. He was carrying the captain on his back, stepped lightly, walked up to the roof in a few steps, and ran to the south of the city. Luo Qingning quickly picked up his breath to catch up, and followed closely behind.

After a while, Lu Xiaofeng turned around and went after Luo Qingning.

south of the city, mass grave

The dense woods blocked the moonlight layer by layer, and crows could be heard from the trees from time to time, coupled with the cold wind around them, rendering the atmosphere terrifying and gloomy.

Luo Qingning held her breath and hid on a dense tree. Not far away, there was a faint blue fire. The captain was tied to a big tree, and a group of people in black robes were holding blue He was surrounded by a bright torch, chanting a strange language.

Suddenly, one of them approached the captain and took out a sharp dagger from his sleeve. He put the dagger on the fire and roasted it, and then stabbed it into the captain's shoulder. The captain's body twitched violently a few times. Then slowly opened his eyes.

They communicated in that peculiar language, the captain had a sarcastic smile on his lips, he turned his head to one side, and his face was pale by the blue firelight. It's not like that scholar who only knows how to smile.

Lu Xiaofeng quietly landed next to Luo Qingning, and said softly, "What's going on?"

Luo Qingning was taken aback, took a sharp breath, and took a long time to recover: "It looks like he is trying to extract a confession."

While Lu Xiaofeng and Luo Qingning were talking, the man in black had already stabbed the second dagger into the captain's shoulder. The bright red blood showed a strange color under the blue light. stabbed into the trunk behind him, nailing the captain alive to the trunk.

"Aren't you going to save him? After a while he will lose too much blood and die." Luo Qingning whispered.

Lu Xiaofeng moved reluctantly, and then jumped off the big tree, the leaves rustled slightly, the people in black noticed it, immediately put on a posture, and attacked Lu Xiaofeng.

It was only then that Luo Qingning could see clearly the faces under the hats of the black-robed man. Their faces were white and piercing, with a cold killing intent in their eyes. They moved extremely fast, constantly changing formations in front of Lu Xiaofeng, which made people dazzled.

Seeing that most of the men in black were attracted by Lu Xiaofeng, Luo Qingning immediately flew up and attacked the man standing beside the captain like an arrow. Her sharp claws pierced through the man's shoulder and ruthlessly tore off a piece of flesh.

"what--"

The man in black covered his shoulders, and quickly slashed at Luo Qingning with the dagger in his hand. Luo Qingning tapped her toes and slid backwards.

Seeing Luo Qingning dodging, the man in black didn't pursue him, but quickly took out a bag of yellow powder from his body and sprinkled it on the captain.

boom--

Blue flames suddenly ignited all over the captain's body, scorching hot, the flames burned along the trunk, and jumped several meters high at once, Luo Qingning was forced by the flames to back again and again.

The blue flame was like a signal, once it was ignited, the men in black all around put away their weapons and fled in all directions, only to see a flash of black shadow in front of them, and soon they disappeared.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Lu Xiaofeng grabbed the fleeing person: "What are you looking for?"

The man kept shaking his head and waving his hands, making a babbling sound.

At this moment, Hua Manlou also rushed to the woods, and he frowned: "They are dumb."

"Then write it down!" Lu Xiaofeng said anxiously.

The man nodded, stretched out his hand and stroked a few strokes on Lu Xiaofeng's hand.Suddenly, the man covered his neck in pain, kept backing away, and waved at Lu Xiaofeng in horror, and then there was a sound of "boom--", the man was wrapped in blue flames like the tree behind Lu Xiaofeng, within a moment, It was burnt to a charred black corpse.

Here Luo Qingning is standing in front of the big tree with a puzzled expression on her face. She has been standing in front of this tree from the moment the man in black ignited the fire until the trunk was ignited. But now, in the burning flames, except for the stout There is nothing but the big tree, where is the captain?

"The captain disappeared?" Luo Qingning looked at the tree trunk and asked in surprise.

Hua Manlou looked at the burning tree trunk, and said, "It should be taken away by them."

"Blinding the eyes." Lu Xiaofeng continued.

Hua Manlou turned to look at Lu Xiaofeng: "What did he write on your palm just now?"

Lu Xiaofeng touched the palm of his hand: "Ancient Tibetan scrolls."

Luo Qingning asked curiously, "What is that?"

Hua Manlou shook his head: "It sounds like a treasure map."

Lu Xiaofeng frowned helplessly: "Dazhi Datong is dead, who else can I ask?"

Hua Manlou lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Maybe there is someone who can help you."

Luoyang, Changgefang

Changgefang is the largest and most popular teaching workshop in Luoyang. The headliner of Changgefang is the great beauty Cihuang who "turns the car around and shakes the dust in Luoyang".

Lu Xiaofeng and his party are sitting in the lobby of Changgefang, listening to music and drinking wine.

"Hua Man Lou, I really didn't expect that a serious person like you would know the famous singer in Luoyang City?" Lu Xiaofeng held the wine glass, shaking his head and humming.

Hua Manlou said helplessly: "The diva just sings for the guests to entertain the guests, many celebrities will also come to Jiaofang to listen, why can't I come?"

Luo Qingning lay down on the table listlessly, and said, "Lu Xiaofeng must have lost his mind again."

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at the listless Luo Qingning, and said with a smile: "I think there are other people who think wrong."

Huamanlou put the peeled grapes in front of Luo Qingning, and said in a gentle voice, "I'm just friends with Cihuang, we don't have any special relationship."

"Really?" Luo Qingning turned her head and looked straight into Hua Manlou's eyes.

"of course……"

"fake."

Before Hua Manlou could finish speaking, a gentle voice picked it up. Luo Qingning turned her head to see a woman in five-colored clothes was approaching, with silver bells wrapped around her ankles. It jingles as it walks, which is very attractive.

The woman didn't even look at Lu Xiaofeng, she walked up to Hua Manlou in a few steps, picked up the grape in front of Luo Qingning, and fed it into her mouth.

"Hua Manlou and I had a friendship of sharing the same bed."

Luo Qingning turned to Huamanlou with a look of disbelief, the latter nodded awkwardly and reluctantly, Luo Qingning's body, which had just straightened up not long ago, fell down at a slant, and changed back to a listless expression.

"Lime, listen to my explanation!"

Hua Manlou tugged on Qing Ning's sleeve, anxiously saying, "Things are not what you think, we were all young at that time."

Lu Xiaofeng: "That's right, people don't flirt with youth."

Luo Qingning's complexion became even worse. She stared blankly at the plate in front of her, with an aggrieved expression of "I was abandoned".

Hua Manlou gave Lu Xiaofeng a hard look: "We were only seven or eight years old at that time, and we were all children!"

Lu Xiaofeng shook his wine glass: "There is an old saying: Brothers and sisters don't sit at the same table when they are seven years old."

Tears flashed in Luo Qingning's eyes, and she looked very pitiful under the light, like a dog abandoned by its owner and now kneeling in the corner of the wall.

"Cihuang and I are not siblings, we are brothers! Cihuang is a man!"

Luo Qingning's eyes lit up for a moment, she straightened up and stared at Cihuang for a long time: "Are you a man?"

Cihuang lifted up the collar with an evil face, her white fingers ran down her neck and across her chest, and said, "Do you want to have a medical examination?"

Luo Qingning nodded almost without thinking, and then...
